A
  • Add a few drops of dilute HCl
  • Add a few drops of barium chloride solution
18

19
Q

What is the test for chlorine gas?

A

Blue litmus paper
Bleaches

20
Q

How does chromatography separate substances?

A

By solubility and affinity for the paper.

21
Q

What is the stationary phase?

A

The chromatography paper.

22
Q

What is the mobile phase?

A

The solvent

23
Q

How do you calculate the RF value?

A

Distance moved by substance / Distance moved by solvent

24
Q

How does flame emission spectroscopy work?

A
  • Sample is put into a flame (electrons are exited)
  • Energy is given out as electrons drop back to lower energy levels
  • This is passed through a spectroscope
  • An emission spectrum is produced
25
Q

What is flame emission spectroscopy used to identify?

A

Metal ions and compounds.

26
Q

How does the melting point of impure substances differ to pure substances?

A

Impure substances melt over a range of temperatures (the more impure it is the larger the range).
